Abstract
The present chapter portrays a case study of a High School Biology teacher named ‘Arunima’ in order to understand the different facets of her knowledge in the area of ‘Ethical Issues in Biological Sciences’. The different knowledge domains that could be studied here include her knowledge about teaching, learning, pedagogy, curriculum, students’ misconceptions, assessment, views on Nature of Science (NOS), etc., in the context of ethical issues in Biological Sciences. Teaching and learning about ethical issues in Biological Sciences includes many areas and topics where a need is felt to think beyond the positivist view of Science and incorporate humanistic and liberal ideals for taking the ‘right’ decisions. It can be clearly seen here that science teaching can no more be an objective affair rather includes many areas where one’s own subjectivity and reasoning is reckoned and gets projected. The present case study will provide an insight into the categories of teachers’ knowledge that are needed for addressing the ethical issues in a more humanistic way in the Science classroom.
